Hot ’n’ sticky? That you knew. Electrifying? Yes, but think lightning. Foggy and cloudy? Not like some Maritime cities, but still plenty grey. A new look at Canada’s weather over two generations reveals what’s bred in London’s bones and how it differs from other cities.

Like most Canadians, Londoners have a love-hate relationship with the weather.

The brutal winter we recently endured, the worst in decades, gave us months of cold and snow to gripe about.

But how do we stack up against other Canadian cities, weather-wise?

Anything to make us feel truly sorry for ourselves?

Any bragging rights?

Environment Canada climatologist David Phillips crunched three decades of weather numbers from Canada’s 100 biggest cities for a closer look.

Mining data from 1971-2000, he ranked cities in 75 categories — from how much wind and sun they get, to hottest and coldest seasons.

“People are passionate about their local weather — they can brag about it, they can curse it,” Phillips said.

London ranks middle of the pack in many ­categories.

But we’re also near the top in some areas many would rather us not be among the capitals of, and near-bottom in others plenty would love us to lead.

If you crave sunshine, for example, better beat a path out of the Forest City. On average, we’re among the least-sunny cities. Get to Southern Alberta, instead.

But if you’re a storm chaser looking for thunder and lightning, London’s your place: We ranked No. 2 in thunderstorms.

“If you like to look at the drama that violent weather provides, of course, London would a good place to be,” Phillips said.

Humidity, we’ve got: ­Canada’s fifth-most days when the Humidex reading — what the temperature feels like, rather than what it is — rose above 30 C.

And what we lack in sunshine, we make up for in fog — both the curse of our geography in the continent’s heartland, surrounded by the Great Lakes.

“Because of the Great Lakes, there’s more cloud cover,” Phillips said.

One consolation?

Sticky and stormy as London is, Windsor is worse.
